    Recommendation for Disc Lock for GS 850G

    Can someone recommend me something similar to the XENA XX15 for gs 850G?

    I bought an XX15 and it turns out that it doesn't fit because of the convex of the disc breaks. It curves in towards the center.
    I emailed XENA about it and they just wouldn't bother to reply back to me. Terrible service. I was thinking about the Kryptonite New York 14P but i'm still not sure that would fit either.

    It might be helpful it you would state the year. Some of the brakes are different depending on year.

        the disc lock is fine , it is the discs that you need to replace, they are supposed to be flat

            I have a similar type of lock that wouldn't fit over where the disk mount curves so I ground it a little on the lock end so it would fit over where it starts to curve.......

              Great idea! I dont think it'll work on the XENA though considering how thin it is.

              Thanks for sharing that though, I never thought about that.

                The locking pin of the Xena XX6 should fit in the oblong cooling slots in the rear disc. The slots in the rear disc are slightly larger than those in the front discs.

                It is better to mount the lock on the rear disc, because it is quick and easy to remove the whole front wheel. The rear disc also curves inwards, so the XX15 will not fit.

                  Sweet, i'll probably just pick that up then.

                  Many thanks
